Camping With My Dog- Part II

Sunset Bay State Park- Coos Bay, Oregon

This beach is located about 2.5 miles out of the town of Charleston on Coos Bay in Oregon. Charleston is a fishing village that offers many opportunities for crabbing, clamming or fishing. The campground is beautiful, clean, handicap accessible and very family friendly. They offer a lot of classes for children and a "hands-on" educational center. There is also a HUGE park right next to the beach with picnic tables, horseshoe pits and sand volleyball. As with most campgrounds, four-legged family members must be kept on a leash. BUT in Oregon, most beaches welcome dogs to enjoy the sand with their two-legged family members. You can read here on guidelines and which trails allow dogs (There is a network of trails that connect Sunset Bay with nearby Shore Acres and Cape Arago State Parks.)
